Occupy Philadelphia Day 12

This morning a group of Occupy Philadelphia protestors decided to picket with signs outside of the Fox News Channel 29 studios at 4th and Market so I went along as medic support. Everyone had fun and no one needed any medical attention. There was no police presence. This is what democracy looks like. Two excellent must-read articles are by Paul Krugman in the NY Times and Robert Reich at Huffington Post. Reich explains beautifully how so called conservatives (they are actually regressives)really want to bring this country back to the 19th century with all of the abuses and wealth inequality that existed at that time before the successive reforms of the 20th century.
